[Verse 1]
There's a stillness on the surface that the world mistakes for calm,
A depth beneath the quiet like the eye inside a storm,
You read the room before you've crossed the threshold of the door,
You feel what no one's saying, you've always known what's for,
The tide inside you rises with a pull they'll never see,
And everything you carry is a kind of alchemy

[PreChorus]
They see the grace, they miss the fire burning low,
The one who holds the room together, letting no one know

[Chorus]
You are the deep and the still and the strong,
Ancient and steady, exactly where you belong,
Every shadow you've walked through has shaped what you are,
Written in water and bone and the light of a star

[Verse 2]
You love like something sacred that was forged in hidden ground,
All-or-nothing, no halfway, no shallow common ground,
You've held the ones who leaned on you before they asked for more,
And swallowed what it cost you when you walked back out the door,
The wounds around belonging left a mark you've learned to bear,
But the home you've built inside yourself is beyond compare

[PreChorus]
They lean into your steadiness but never feel its weight,
You've built your worth through discipline and learning how to wait

[Chorus]
You are the deep and the still and the strong,
Ancient and steady, exactly where you belong,
Every shadow you've walked through has shaped what you are,
Written in water and bone and the light of a star

[Verse 3]
Your mind moves like a current through the spaces others miss,
Between the spoken sentence and the silence after this,
You think in threads of meaning that unravel into art,
In symbols and in images, the language of the heart,
And when the world has asked you to diminish or conform,
You bent like a willow, but you never lost your form

[PreChorus]
The healing that is coming finds you ready at the door,
Not broken, not diminished — only clearer than before

[Chorus]
You are the deep and the still and the strong,
Ancient and steady, exactly where you belong,
Every shadow you've walked through has shaped what you are,
Written in water and bone and the light of a star

[Bridge]
The cosmos did not scatter you, it placed you here with care,
Each wound became a compass, every loss became a prayer,
Your worth was never something you were meant to earn or prove,
The universe already knows the ground beneath your roots

[Outro]
You are enough in the stillness, enough in the storm,
You are exactly, completely, remarkably born,
Let the stars that wrote you carry what you cannot hold,
You were never lost — just finding your way home
